A participant maintains a steady trunk in high plank but has drifted behind the intended shoulder-over-wrist position. Choose the feedback that most effectively uses Praise-Correct-Praise.
Correct answer: B - Your trunk is steady. Shift your shoulders over your wrists. Good-keep that steady trunk.
A new student loses the order of one transition despite two explanations using anatomical terms. After watching a slow demonstration, the student copies it accurately. For the next attempt, the teaching approach most likely to build on that response is:
Correct answer: A - Show the transition slowly, then have the student practice it with one brief verbal cue.
A student holds Warrior II with a steady stance but a clenched jaw and strained breathing. The instructor wants to preserve useful muscular support without reinforcing rigidity. Which cue expresses Sthira together with Sukha?
Correct answer: D - Keep the stance steady and ease the effort until breathing is comfortable.
An instructor says, 'Let your breathing remain natural. Keep your attention on the sensation of air at your nostrils; whenever attention wanders, return it there.' Which limb of yoga is most directly being practiced?
Correct answer: C - Dharana
A runner's reassessment uses the same positioning and measurement method as the initial assessment. Active hip flexion has increased from 70 degrees to 90 degrees; passive hip flexion has increased from 100 degrees to 110 degrees. Both assessments are pain-free, with the pelvis kept still. Which interpretation correctly combines the change in the passive-active gap with its movement significance?
Correct answer: A - The gap narrowed by 10 degrees; actively controlled range improved more than passive range.
From standing, a student slowly bends the knees to lower into Chair pose, then pauses without changing the knee angle. Which sequence describes the quadriceps action during the controlled descent and the stationary hold?
Correct answer: B - Eccentric contraction, followed by isometric contraction
A rested athlete performs an isolated six-second burst of maximal, explosive movement. Which description of energy supply is accurate?
Correct answer: D - The phosphagen system predominates, while the other energy systems still contribute.
Before a Sport Yoga session, a right-handed tennis player notes that one arm reaches farther overhead than the other. The difference is longstanding, painless, and has not affected serving or daily tasks. The player asks whether the two sides must be made identical before overhead poses are allowed. The instructor should:
Correct answer: C - Compare active control and serving demands before deciding whether the difference needs correction.
A 68-year-old recreational hiker is learning Tree pose beside a wall. Light fingertip contact lets her maintain the intended single-leg position comfortably; without it, she repeatedly steps down. She reports no pain, dizziness, or recent falls. The immediate goal is an upright single-leg hold with as little assistance as needed. Select the version that meets that goal.
Correct answer: D - Retain light fingertip contact, keeping the body upright and the standing leg actively supporting the pose.
Tomorrow is a soccer team's second match in two days. Today's Sport Yoga session is intended as active recovery; the players report general tiredness but no injury symptoms. Which session plan fits that intention?
